Glen VIt seems like there are lots of new cards that never were given ACC #s (Four Base Hits, Lections, G. Ruth Candy, etc.) Also there are a number of things that could be changed, like giving Colgan Tin Tops and Red Borders different #s (instead of both being E270) and making the Old Mill Cabinet a T card (instead of H801-7).
However, ACC #s have limited use. Besides W's cards and some old standards, ACC numbers just aren't needed. How many people talk about an N566 instead of a Newsboy Cabinet, or an F7-1 instead of a '37 Dixie Lid? Plus, you couldn't change most of the existing numbers, or things would get really confusing. I can't imagine collectors ever accepting a different name for T206s. And if a new system was created, I doubt it would ever catch on, unless Beckett and/or SCD implemented it in their price guides.
